I would like to see ATproto identity integration at some point.
Would be amazing if you stored all my Hardcover data IN my PDS! (User-owned storage ftw!)
Also, discovery. Which of my Bsky friends are on Hardcover and I can follow them here?

undefined Actually what I meant is a few things:
Social discovery: log into Hardcover or verify by Bsky account and Hardcover checks my Follows to see who else is on Hardcover and suggests following them on Hardcover.
Book shelf syncing: when I OAuth by Bsky, it checks my PDS for books on something like Bookhive or anything that uses that lexicon https://lexicon.garden/lexicon/did:plc:enu2j5xjlqsjaylv3du4myh4/buzz.bookhive.getBook and add to my Hardcover shelves. And in the future, it also hopefully could WRITE to my PDS to keep it updated. User-owned bookshelves.

Chad Kohalyk I would also love to see this! I think you nailed those two primary integrations where atproto fits. 1) looks a lot like what Puzzmo did to connect their accounts with user's atproto accounts (see Bluesky support for Puzzmo and Wrangling atproto + Bluesky for Puzzmo.com). And on 2), as Chad mentioned if Hardcover could work alongside or similarly to Popfeed and Bookhive that would be amazing for data ownership and independence.
